IRISH FARMING HISTORY STORIES -- HORSES, 1ST TRACTOR, REAPER & BINDER, SAVING HAY, WW2, TIMBER

[@markkilleen8036]

One of the most enjoyable vlogs I have ever seen. All other young farmers should take note of what you did in this vlog . And keep a record of the way things were done back in the day. These story's are PRICELESS.

[@MrMike353]

I couldnt agree with you more

[@DianeD862]

And us there a credit to the farmers and everyone else .In the farming world . With love .🌎🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

Another great video men great to hear old stories of Irish farming! I'm a non farmer but I see and feel the pressure on farmers nationwide due to poor policies in government and so on, please god they get they're acts together an appreciate the hard working men and women of the farming industry who in my opinion are the back bone of our land we get a great standard of meat,grains, milk and so on it's a shame how farmers are treated and I wish all yous the best of luck for the future

[@doorhandles64]

Great stories....you could listen to them all day 👍

[@martymartin2894]

Theres a KZbin farmer in America who must have gotten this idea from phil, because he interviews old farmers from around his area and they tell there whole life stories like this. His channel is called wititane or witane something i can't remember of top of my head.

To get all the old stories recorded is priceless and in time to come they’ll be cherished. Good man Phil.

[@tomgreene2282]

Stooks , stacks...and ricks....ah the days! Most farming people had potatoes, eggs, porridge, cabbage, milk butter and bacon. ...no telephone, cars, etc.....a great "fireside" conversation ...well done! I was in( Willie?) Stuart's sawmills in Ennybegs with my father getting timber oak posts sawed in the 1950s . Some folks had a horse churn similarly powered.

[@jimmy75256]

Should make this a monthly thing over the winter because they are great story tellers

[@aidan9157]

Hi Phil - You should also start a podcast series with these stories. Would be very suitable format for that.

[@ford3cx]

This was really interesting to hear your uncle and dad talking about the past. You should sit down with these two wise gentlemen and rite a book. It would sell no problem and it would be interesting read about the past farming ways. Great video Phil

Jaysus Phil that was class, I hope you convince Father Phil and Uncle to keep reminiscing away like that, sounds like your farms history is fascinating! Gonna watch this again tomorrow with the father, the amount of tea I've drank with him and my own uncle and they reminiscing about old allis Chalmers and Garvie threshers!

[@roberthiggins6401]

My father's bosses father wrote a book called a farming century 1892-1992 by William GG Alexander. Look it up, it's still available and a great read. Alexander's were from Scotland and moved to Kent.

[@thepeoplespal5]

Father Phil took a while to get warmed up, but once going the craic was mighty.

[@joesod]

of all the hardship farmers went through back then I think the worst was the small square bales as was mentioned here they crippled alot of men, even though in theory square bales should have advancement from saving loose hay

[@byrnegroundworkservices4005]

Phil u r the best youtuber

[@johnforrestal9975]

Brilliant, really enjoyed it. These chats are great videos Phil

[@wildcat22]

Great stuff lads.

Brings back memories i remember my neighbor had a 1947 David Brown crop master he used to dig out spuds this time of year. The first combine i remember was a Clayson that was in the sixties. The first rotary mower i worked was in 1971 it was a Kuhm with disks or saucers no drums that was driven by a Massy 135 .your father and uncle tell great stories i would love to chat with them.
